MAGPIE is HERE
The Neighborhood
They said,
(By the way,
who IS "they"?)
Anyway, they say,
"The Terraplane will
fit like an aeroplane".
The condo 'hood
above ground stood--
Plenty space to play.
Underground pipe
for children who like
to seek...and to hide
(Don't have to find!)
In time (after) great flood
a subdivision built
Big boat, lots animals
with Noah settled nearby
in mud, muck, and mire,
discovered again
How to make--grin-- fire!
Now, only problem left--
be certain--make a list
and check it twice, thrice.
For the
Groc'ry
Is far
away.....
